Installation & Assembly

The air compressor should be turned off, unplugged from the power source, the air bled from the tank and the unit allowed time to cool before any maintenance is performed. Personal injuries could occur from moving parts, electrical sources, compressed air or hot surfaces. The quick connect assembly must be attached before use. Failure to assemble correctly could result in leaks and possible injury. If unsure of assembly instructions or you experience difficulty in the assembly please call your local service department for further information.

Getting Started - Location of the Air Compressor

The air compressor should always be located in a clean, dry and well ventilated environment. The unit should have at minimum, 12 inches of space on each side. The air filter intake should be free of any debris or obstructions.

Check the air filter on a daily basis to make sure it is clean and in working order.

Risk Of Fire Or Explosion

This product incorporates snap action switch contacts and a universal electric motor which tend to produce arcs and sparking and therefore should not be exposed to flammable liquids or vapors. This product is not intended for installation or use in a commercial garage or shop environment.

Grounding Instructions

This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. (See the figure below.) The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if these instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided.

If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 volts and is factory-equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. An adapter should not be used with this product. If the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, qualified service personnel should make the reconnection.

Extension Cords

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. Cords must not exceed 25 feet and No. 12 AWG size must be used. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
